Facebook for iPhone updated to 3.5

Still filled with bugs, as expected. I just don't understand how such a powerful company and have such a piss poor app. Blows my mind.
The friends request bug is still there -- never shows me having any requests unless I go into Friends and click on Requests. Then I see them. However, the badge on the Friends icon never updates to reflect those requests. The app is still painfully slow, even on wifi. And I have two "Photos" icons as Favorites, and when posting with the app, it still says 'via mobile' rather than 'via iPhone' like it used too. I assume that is a quick API fix... but I don't know.

ahhhh, misunderstood. Maybe they are about to yank it then and replace with the right build? If you look down at the standalone comment I made a few minutes back, you'll see v3.5 still isn't that much to write home about :/

Notifications actually work now which is nice. Haven't noticed any problems so far. After I updated and closed the app and reopened before testing. I haven't tested everything yet but it seems improved but could be better.

I just updated the Facebook app for my iPhone 4. Everything is updated like the streamlining of profiles and such but the major update, the ability to tag friends in status updates is not there. There is no bar that allows me to do that. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

Your facebook account has to have been updated to the "new" profile system that they started rolling out next week.https://blog.facebook.com/blog...
Yeah, they don't mention any of this in the iOS app features list...

Is anyone else having issues with notifications? It keeps barking at me with the same notifications every once in a while even when iv already seen it/ replied/ and replied a LONG TIME ago, im getting notifications repeatedly that i already saw hours ago. -.- its annoying
